Description
The hypnotic appeal of a sensual and ancient perfume
The deep color of amber, with its hypnotic and ancient allure, visually suggests that this fragrance
is made of both simple and complex traits due to its fresh ingredients such as citrus and lavender
enriched by intense notes of patchouli and opoponaco. This scent awakens exciting sensations
through the interplay of its ingredients, which go from the sharpness of orange, geranium, and
bergamot to the hearty notes of incense and labdanum.
Ambra calls forth sensual images that are softened by the calm sweetness of vanilla, thereby giving
the skin an ever changing scent, suitable to both summer and winter weather. Ambra was launched in 2004.

This is an amber-bomb on me. Unisex I think. Makes me think of 70’s heavy amberscents. Not totally hopeless, but more modern amberscents turns down the ambernote a lot more. If you love smokey amber/heavy amber – this is it. Not for me
Detta är en amber-bomb på mig. Helt unisex. Får mig att tänka på 70-talets tunga amberdofter. Inte helt hopplös men moderna dofter tonar ofta ner ambernoten en hel del. Men gillar du rökig amber/ tung amber så är denna helt rätt, dock inte för mig.

I’d read some reviews on it, I LOVE amber and vanilla notes so I bought a small vial of it. It’s boozy and has a faint hint of raisin. I was trying to figure out what it reminded me of — then it hit me, it starts off a bit like chergui on my skin and then dries down to Dolcelisir L`Erbolario, both of which I have. I’ll have to test this out again, and see if it’s still FB worthy.

I’ve been eyeing this one off for a while, and it was on my wish-list, and then as I was picking through the last lot of samples I got with my last purchase, what did I find? Yep, this little beauty. I’m guessing it’s the opoponax, but when it first goes on, I get a faint boozy whiff, accompanied by something that makes me think of a freshly opened box of raisins. That settles and then I’m left with a beautiful warm amber, touched with vanilla. I don’t get much of the orange or bergamot (or the other notes for that matter), but that’s ok – I’m on a bit of an amber kick at the moment. I like this a lot – it’s a lovely warm, cosy, comforting scent, and I could easily go for a full bottle.

I can not believe CINNAMON is not listed in the notes. This is amber and cinnamon sugar toast. Its a sweet and playful amber. It starts with a citrusy opening, bright and zesty, then the cinnamon sugar ambery sticky smell comes in, a little boozy and rich at first but settles down pretty fast. About an hour in it is really comforting and warm. After a few hours the cinnamon is still there but the amber takes on a powdery note, which works well with my skin chemistry. When applied to my wrists and clothes i get wafts of sweet vanilla and cinnamon around me, the amber isn’t as pronounced until I directly sniff my wrist.
Not a terribly complicated scent, I would say its very wearable for women more than men, just due to the sweetness of it.

This is by far my favorite amber and believe me, I tried a lot. It’s also a REAL amber, since the other notes are much less accentuated (my signature scent is Elie Saab Le Parfum Intense which is also rich in amber, but clearly there it’s just an addition, not the main star). It’s warm and sweet thanks to opoponax. I find it perfectly balanced and smooth. The only time when I was not 100% in love with it was during very hot and humid days. For spring and autumn it will be perfect; I also assume it will perform great in the winter.
The projection is good. My skin eats up perfumes and my relatives, friends and coworkers hardly ever notice my new scent, while this one actually got me a few compliments! The longevity is very good too. Today, for instance, I applied it 5 hours ago, and it’s still going strong, which in my case is really rare.
Highly recommended.

A clean amber it is, it is like a washable amber, lighted soapy amber with a vanilla note that lightens it even more. Very pleasant and superbly sexy.
Edit (7th Jan 2017) This quite sweet! i thought it has soapy effect, but it turned to be quite sweet amber.

Very nice. The hype is justified. This is a nice sugary cinnamon amber dried to a stone-washed texture. I have no doubts that you will spray the hell out of your skin. The amber is bright, inviting and surprisingly sharp. Speaking of surprisingly, do yourself a favor and look at the price. Very reasonable for what’s offered and I’m loving the bottle size…but back to the scent…This is a snuggy in liquid form. A true euphemism of comfort that’s a cross between Serge Lutens Chergui and Roja Dove’s Amber Aoud. I can’t wait to test this for the fall…

A very succulent Amber that’s full of body, has lots of heft and quite a few different facets depending on you’re chemistry and the weather. I get the citrus throughout the whole thing and a tinge of cinnamon, this reminds me of the fall so much. When I wear this fragrance I feel comforted and immediately think of being bundled up drinking hot cider with cinnamon sticks orange peel while walking around the neighborhood looking at Christmas lights on a dark dreary cloudy winter night. This will be a mainstay in my collection.

A modestly priced, solid, good performing fragrance. This makes me want to carry the wife into the bed room every time she wears it.

Oh dear, a huge splurge of incensey-orange citric rind right from the start!
I simply find the overall effect very nauseating, and it’s a shame because certain people would like this theme, but there’s something in the notes that presents a complete turn-off for me!
The orange rind appears to be dusty, sharp and strangely woody all the time. Geranium doesn’t help either it’s anything but sweet and smooth. The ‘sour’ type of orange-oil, amplified by sawdust if you will. It’s not the dirty or animalic type, just a strange mix of sourness, rinds and a muffled floral. I actually think the scent quality is fine, it just has the wrong notes, or combined effect of the notes.
I do not recall any opoponax, vanilla or true amber in all honesty. Very disappointing. One thing for sure, I am enjoying all this scent exploration getting real ideas of the strange, odd and beautiful creations out there.
1/5. Just not for me, sorry. Sample courtesy of LuckyScent.

As other reviewers have said – this is a lovely amber. The vanilla keeps it soft and sweet along with the opoponex mixed in – just incredible. Personally I don’t get even a titch of lavender which I am grateful for because I don’t like it. This is a very special amber scent and I highly recommend it for those times when you want to feel beautiful, comforted, warm… most everyday, right?!

I love this amber. I get a strong cinnamon note which isn’t listed here so i’m not sure where it’s coming from? It does turn a little boozy after the initial spray and the opoponax is very noticeable!
sergo777 – :
This is a beautiful amber…one of my absolute favorites of the amber compositions I’ve tried. It is sweet and rich and unctuous, with a nice strong cinnamon note and gorgeous rondure. It stays pretty true to the opening through drydown and wearing. I could wish for better sillage, but as my tester was a dab-on rather than a spray-on, perhaps some of that closeness has to do with the application. I rarely assign a seasonal compatibility to perfumes, but this one just seems like the perfect antidote to a wintry day.
Vitalsonbest – :
A nice slightly boozy amber opens and within seconds quickly settles producing a sweet and slightly bitter woody accord with a resinous quality that mixes with the sweetness of vanilla and floral of geranium quite nicely. Sexy and smooth but still cute. This scent says, “I’ll woo you with my warm and subtle and (on occasion) playful tenacity.” This scent is a long term commitment. It’s not a dating around type. This is an innocent girlfriend/boyfriend type of amber. It is not a mistress.

This one makes me weak in the knees! It reminds me a little of Annick Goutal – Ambre Fetiche, but with more opoponax. The incense, patchouli and geranium are detectable early on, but as the fragrance dries down, it warms up and focuses more on the amber and opoponax for me. I feel I could wear this one in the warmer spring weather, since it stays close to the skin. I’m really not surprised it’s sold out on Luckyscent at the moment!
Update: The incense note is more noticeable in warm weather! I also find this scent changes depending on the weather, and skin chemistry!

Another opulent oriental from Omnia Profumo, AMBRA oozes with golden amber by turns slightly boozy and slightly sweet. This composition is filled with delights: opoponax, labdanum, patchouli, and incense, along with a touch of vanilla, which imparts the sweetness. AMBRA just may be the perfumic analogue to hot buttered rum.
I have been walking around for many hours enveloped in this lustrous substance, which hovers like a blanket around the contours of my body and has won its way into my heart and onto my wish list. Highly recommended for all oriental lovers, and especially those who cherish amber well-adorned!
